The Uttar Pradesh government recently homed down on Yamuna
Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) township as
the location for the proposed 765kV substation. The 3,000 MVA gasinsulated
substation will be built over 30 ha of land in Sector 9.
Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation (UP Transco) has
conducted a field visit for a feasibility study of the project. The
substation, which will be constructed by Western UP Power
Transmission Corporation Limited, would take around two years to
complete. The total cost of the project would be worked out after the
technical feasibility study report is presented.
At present, distribution companies of Noida and Greater Noida draw
power from the 400kV substation in Pali which has a maximum capacity
of 945 MVA. On the other hand, the average cumulative daily power
requirement of the cities exceeds 1,000 MVA.
Transformer capacity of 3,000 MVA which would be available at the
new substation would be enough to suffice the power needs of Noida,
Greater Noida and Yamuna township for the next 10 years, it is reported.
The 765KV substation would draw power through four main
transmission lines. Two of these lines would draw power from the
national grid of Power Grid Corporation of India running adjacent to
Gautam Budh Nagar. The two remaining lines would fetch power from
Mainpuri and Hapur in Uttar Pradesh. The 765kV substation would be
integrated to a network of transmission lines connected with smaller
capacity substations further down the line in Noida and Greater Noida.
